Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 459 - 459 5 New Hatreds and Old Grudges

459: Chapter 5 New Hatreds and Old Grudges 459: Chapter 5 New Hatreds and Old Grudges The doctor’s workplace was in the central area at Central United University, and her residence was in a villa deep in Cangshou District.

The use of “deep” to describe it was because for ordinary citizens, their understanding of Cangshou District was only up to the “mountain peaks” further ahead of Dragon Neck, with the central city’s municipal building in between, and what lay beyond was something most residents of the city had never seen with their own eyes.

Just applying for entry to the area inhabited by the upper class and the wealthy required complicated procedures, and the areas beyond the building were usually not open to the general public.

Thus, to the average student, Cangshou District was as mysterious as the forest behind the school, with each step further in leading deeper into this mysterious region.

For Gongsun Ce, however, this place was quite familiar.

During past street brawls, most people targeted Cangshou District, and later, when security improved, he would occasionally come here with his elder brother to take on missions.

Not to mention that the doctor’s private clinic and residence were located here; he would have to come here nine times out of ten if he was seriously injured.

“Gongsun, why does everyone call the doctor ‘doctor’?” Shiyu Lianyi asked, “Honestly, when I first heard this nickname, I felt it was a bit impolite.”

At this moment, the two were sitting in the waiting room of the private clinic “White Clinic.” True to its name, the clinic was dominated by a cold white tone, accented with light blue lines.

The bookshelves in the waiting room held hefty medical popular science books, and the sci-fi-looking white chairs were not much more comfortable even with cushions added.

The doctor’s clinic, like the impression she gave to others, was cold, heartless, and off-limits to outsiders.

Gongsun Ce always felt uncomfortable when he came here, and right now, with the situation being especially strange, he felt even more uneasy.

To avoid falling into madness again, he hurriedly used this as an excuse to ramble on at length.

“Of course, the doctor has a name.

Her surname isn’t common, but her first name is quite nice sounding.

However, the doctor doesn’t like others to call her by her name; she prefers the nickname instead.

If someone dares to say that lovely name in front of her, the doctor will get very angry—”

Just then, the door to the resting room opened.

A beautiful woman stood behind the door, with her unique red pupils fixed on the silver-haired young man whose mouth was running like a river.

Her neat gray-blue hair, form-fitting black dress, and a white lab coat typical of research personnel.

The entire cold-colored outfit made the doctor’s demeanor appear extremely indifferent, just like the gaze she was casting now.

Unlike the youthful and beautiful Kardesia, this person, in a certain sense, was very much like the young lady—belonging to the category of pretty girls that no one had the guts to approach.

Those who weren’t familiar with her probably couldn’t help but instinctively take three steps back after just one glance.

Gongsun Ce said with an awkward smile, “Doctor, I didn’t say anything, right?”

“I don’t find my name particularly cute,” said the doctor, “Today’s medication is 15% off for you.”

You get angry just at the mention of it, you nitpicking woman!

“You’re already charging prices higher than the market and you’re raising them?!

That’s so black-hearted?!”

“I’m a quack doctor after all.”

The doctor tossed a small bottle to him, and Gongsun Ce caught it with telekinesis.

Before the silver-haired young man could speak, the doctor with the gray-blue hair continued, “Eat all of these tonight.”

Gongsun Ce opened the small bottle to look and realized he couldn’t recognize any of the various pills—it was all mixed in one bottle.

He pocketed the bottle, “Okay, whatever, charge me the extra 50%.

By the way, what are these pills for?”

Holding the list of medications, the doctor said, “Half are for treating depression and autism, and the other half you wouldn’t understand.”

I’m about to get depressed just listening to your explanation.

“Oh my god…” Gongsun Ce shook his head, “Alright, thanks.

Do I look like someone who’d be depressed?

Since when has Mr.

Gongsun, who’s so optimistic, shown signs of depression?”

Leaning against the doorframe, the doctor glanced at Gongsun Ce and said tepidly, “Ten years ago, seven years ago, three years ago.”

At her words, Gongsun Ce faltered.

He opened his mouth and mumbled vaguely, “That’s different…

Feeling down and being depressed aren’t the same thing.” After that, he paid the fee, said goodbye, and hurriedly left.

Shiyu Lianyi gave the woman a sheepish smile and quickly followed his friend’s retreating figure.

After the two had left, the doctor turned off the clinic’s lights and walked home alone.

Her detached villa was connected to her private clinic by a corridor, allowing direct access from the clinic to the second floor of the villa.

The doctor was utterly uninterested in whatever incident Gongsun Ce had gotten himself involved in again; it was likely related to disturbances in the underworld.

It was enough to help him within her means; if she got caught up in the turmoil, she could not guarantee her current peaceful life.

Emotions are embellishments of life, material wealth, and technology are the cornerstones of human survival…

She rarely let her thoughts wander and paused before stepping through her home’s doorway.

The lights were on in the house; someone had come.

The doctor thought of several possibilities, prepared herself, stepped into the house, and stood boldly by the second-floor corridor, looking down into the brightly lit first-floor hall.

A girl in a red dress was sitting on the sofa, casually humming a nursery rhyme from Zero Island.

“Sunny doll, sunny doll, I hope tomorrow will bring good weather ♪

If so, I’ll give you a golden bell ♪

If so, I’ll give you delicious wine ♪”

The doctor smiled, just like an ordinary girl would.

If anyone familiar with her were to see this expression, they would undoubtedly be shocked.
